have to pay the expense of realigning intersections or improvement of roads in the Project Area. 271 Mayor Huntoon asked if anyone desired to speak on the Environmental Impact Report. Mayor Huntoon stated that before he closed the Public Hearing he would like to ask Staff to make a brief presentation. Mr. John Brown stated he would make his comments brief, however, he would like to respond to comments made by Mr. Katz, and that is in the opinion of Staff, consult- ants, and all those working on this Project for the last year, the Santa Ana River Redevelopment Project makes sense because it is in the best interests of the citizens and taxpayers of Colton, this Project will not cost Mr. Katz, or any other land owner within the Project, an additional dime in real property taxes because that is not the way Redevelopment works, and Mr. Katz, or any other property owners within the Project area, will not be expected to pay through a special tax or assessment or special charge for the costs of the improvements to be constructed, this is a part of the Redevelopment Project effort. Mr. Brown then spoke about the possibility of future realignment of the intersection of Barton Road, Hunts Lane and Reche Canyon Road, and that at some future time the Council and Agency may act upon this matter. Mr. Brown stated that nothing before the Council and Agency this evening in any way affects the division of Mr. Katz's property. Mr. Brown advised that with the passing of Proposition 13 and Proposition 4, it is no longer possible for the City Council or the Redevelopment Agency to in N any way increase the ad valorem taxes of this Project area without a vote of the N people, and no such vote is proposed or contemplated in connection with this Project and, in fact, the monies to be used to fund the Project are expected to come out of tax increment, that is to say additional real property taxes generated by increases Q in assessed value which otherwise would have gone to the County of San Bernardino, Q the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, the Colton Joint Unified School District, and a number of other affected taxing entities. Mr. Brown then advised that Staff has worked very hard in meeting with the taxing entities affected within the Project Area, and have submitted to these agencies a Cooperation Agreement, with the exception of the Community College District who have indicated they will be getting back with Staff in January, and Staff has now reached actual cooperation contractual obligation agreements between the affected taxing entities and the Redevelopment Agency. Mr. Brown said Staff expects that if the Council and Agency elect to proceed with the approval of the Project this evening, to have those agreements in a position where they could be ratified by the Council and Agency in the coming weeks as a part of the post Redevelopment adoption process. Mr. Brown pointed out there is a sixty day challenge statute under the California Comr7unity Redevelopment Law, which offers an opportunity in the event there is not a successful resolution. Mayor Huntoon then declared the City Council Public Hearing closed. Chairperson Garcia then declared the Redevelopment Agency Public Hearing closed.
